Depp Depths of Enigma

Chapter 1

Phillip Broyles was sitting with his Fringe team – consisting of Olivia Dunham, Walter and Peter Bishop – waiting for a special video to come up.

Suddenly, a light flashed and the video started playing. A voice could be heard.

This is Agent Wilson reporting. The date is August 4th, 2009. Agent Ryan and myself are within the confines of an old Nazi U-Boat. Needless to say not many people come to this spot – after all, not much to find in an old war vessel. However, what I have come across may come as a shock. While going through the records of the boat, we came across something – an Enigma machine. Although many don't have much use for this machine anymore, there is more to it… it appears this machine has a very abnormal use – I can't quite make it out, but it seems… to go beyond our usual Fringe science machineries… I think… What was that!? Oh my lord! Men in uniform… but… they don't have any scuba gear! They're coming towards us! They… they're carrying flame flowers… but under water! Oh hell, stay back! The sound of gunfire is heard, but nothing can be seen. The video ends abruptly.

Broyles looked to his operatives – everyone looks shocked.

"This video was recorded weeks ago," Broyles stated. "Whatever happened down there… it is beyond our expertise. If anyone has any suggestions, I suggest you speak up now."

Everyone was silent. Walter spoke up. "I think I know who can help us." Walter went to the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello," Walter said. "Trevor! My dear professor, it's me – Walter! Walter Bishop," Walter stated jovially. "I'm quite fine, thank you for asking. But I was wondering if you could help me out a little bit. I'm part of the Fringe Division in the government and we're investigating an Enigma device." Walter stayed silent. "Yes, yes! I'm certain it is the Enigma device. You'll come along. Splendid! Looking forward to it!" Walter hangs up the phone.

"Who was that, Walter?" Peter asked his father. Walter looked up.

You'll find out this afternoon.

The afternoon came and everyone was waiting for Walter's "surprise guests. Then the doorbell rang. "Ah! They're here," Walter exclaimed.

Walter came to the door and opened it, revealing an elderly man. "Walter Bishop!" the elderly man said.

Walter extended his arms. "Trevor Bruttenholm!" Both men hugged each other with vigor.

"You know this man, Walter?" Peter asked.

Walter and Trevor stopped hugging. "Oh, right! Peter, my son, this is Professor Bruttenholm. He was my old teacher back in Harvard. A splendid teacher he was, I must say!"

"And this is your son, eh, Walter?" Trevor and Peter shake hands.

"Not to spoil things," Peter said. "But what exactly are you experienced in?"

"Ah, now here comes the good part!" Trevor exclaimed and pointed to the door. "Boys, come in!"

Everyone except Walter and Trevor were surprised at what came in. First was a man who looked like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the other a being with a Devil-like appearance.

Everyone was shocked; Peter, however, was totally excited.

"Wow!" Everyone looked to Peter. "I never thought I'd live to see the day… to see that I was right…" he smirked. "Hellboy exists."
